Package v Bits and Bobs

[kev kendall]

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Ok - we've decided that next summer is the ultimate disney holiday - 3 weeks (THREE yay!!!!!) staying at either Poly or CR (just love that monorail!!!)

Ok - is it cheaper to book rooms direct with Disney.co.uk (you can choose quite a few options etc.) and book flights direct with say Virgin OR is it just as good to book a complete package with Virgin Holidays?

Also.... (sorry to go on) - I have been checking out flight prices (i can get prices as far as June but not August when we'd want to go.) 2 adults and 2 children with Virgin PE is £5374 but BA PE is £4740 - can anyone tell me the difference between Virgin and BA Premium Economy??????

Also - i've checked out Travel City Direct and can get 2 weeks at the Grand Floridian flying first class for less than the VA PE seats!! What's the catch!!???

I've got plenty of time to sort it all out, so I want to get it right and I know someone will come along soon with all the answers!!!!!

wow !
that sounds like an awesome deal.
But it's a charter right?
i'm always leary of traveling charters, but then that's me.

I really don't know what the better deal is, but i always end up doing it the bits and bobs way.
Somehow i feel in more control when i do all the little pieces myself.

It's probably not the best way, but that's what i do.

As for booking rooms, I always call WDW direct by phone to the US to make my room reservations (not WDW travel company, but WDW central reservations - you have to be very careful when you call that you don't have the travel company).
in any case, i like calling them direct to book my reservations.

Its cheaper to book with disney.com or phone CRO,weve got pop for £32.00 a night using AAA discount as opposed to £54 on uk site.Plus you can watch for outher discounts to come out or use AP for discounts

Travel city(used to be libity travel) not used them but if they work out cheaper use them,am of the oppinion the flight isnt the holiday why waste money when you can get it cheaper,minus they dont do 3 week stays

Look for flights on expedia ect 11 months out from your return,cheaper if you get one stop

if doing your own thing wait till Xmas as lot of fights cheaper in sales then.Think we could have got virgin direct for £450
